Why Choose Cal Coast?

Program Highlights

The following are enjoyed by both Travel AND Practice-Only teams, unless otherwise noted:

• Gold Medal Squared certified coaches & staff
  
  • Gold Medal Squared is the collaborative effort of four of the most successful and experienced coaches in the history of volleyball in the United States. Dr. Carl McGown, Dr. Marv Dunphy, Dr. Doug Beal, and Jim McLaughlin bring over 100 years of combined experience, and have been at the top of the game at every level: High School, Club, Collegiate, Professional Foreign Leagues, and International competition.
    
    
• Consistent coaching philosophy
  
  • All Cal Coast VBC coaches use the Gold Medal Squared coaching philosophy. This ensures a seamless transition for players as they grow and progress to each new level. Coaches are given the necessary tools to teach the skills of volleyball to their players, to understand the tactics of the game, to make better use of limited time with their players, and to develop winning programs.
    
    
• Strength & Conditioning programOptional
  
  • There is simply no substitute for proper conditioning. A well conditioned athlete is able move faster, react quicker, and play longer. Volleyball is a game of short bursts of energy; an anaerobic activity. Our program has partnered with CrossFit Five Cities to bring you the best in fitness training. There is no substitue for quality instruction, and CrossFit Five Cities has been helping us forge elite athletes in a fun, positive, and safe manner. When you train like an athlete, you will perform like one.
    • Please note: This is an optional activity and not included in the base pricing. An additional fee will apply for those athletes interested in strength & conditioning classes.
    
    
    
• Film review
  
  • Sometimes, the best way to correct an action is to see yourself doing it. Special dates will be set up over the season to provide an opportunity for instant feedback on a players performance in practice and drills. This can be an invaluable tool for players to reach the next level.
    • Please note: Film review is not guaranteed for Practice-Only teams.
